Imagine everybody in a small room, just wanting to listen to music, having a good time and then….

BOOM! A bunch of men in black tying everyone up and throwing them in a big white van.

That’s so true [file sharers buy more]. One of the heaviest downloaders I know is looking for a bigger apartment to make more place for his CDs and DVDs.

I also buy but not that much lol. And I know at least 5 more ppl that download b4 buying – those are the ones that already discussed the theme with me.

In any case, this failure of a industry represented in our community as MAFIAA (and merry friends) will keep failing to see this.

In the end, I hope there are always some sources of free music.

@174:

Thank you. Let’s just see if neostyles, reasoned mind, or even Someguy (whom I originally replied to) has anything further to say against my above arguments. However, I don’t think anything we say on here will change their perception of pirates as selfish freeloaders that leech off of other people’s hard work (even though that is clearly not true for many of us).

Also, I too have noticed theghostbay posting the same thing in every article. It’s posts like those that make me wish the karma system was re-introduced so we could bury spam like that. What he’s doing is just a cheap ploy to advertise is personal website (which looks very poorly put together too and of which I would NEVER go anywhere near because who knows what scams he may have up his sleeve given that he advertises so agressively).

If that were the case, they would’ve long ago stopped supporting new and emerging artists (maybe even giving up new music production entirely) to instead pursue online filesharers.

Think before you speak.

“So, you say that it’s alright for homeless people to steal food?”

Yes it is alright since the society should not let them be homeless.

“The sacred hunger, this long legitimate crime.” Leconte Delisle.

The purpose of societies is to help individual survive and not to fatten few parasites.

Others social species such as wolves and dogs help each others .

Why not human? After all this is a social specy too. Isnt it?

I haven’t bought a single CD since 1999. But have 20K songs in my library. “The people who share music are dedicated music fans who actually buy more music than their non-pirating friends.” is very true. Thanks for the whole original and digitally remastered Beatles library, torrent dudes.
